Which risk greatly increases when a packed-bed reactor’s pressure drop is too high?

💡 Explanation

Increased pressure drop forces flow to take preferential paths, because channeling reduces contact area between the reactants and catalyst—the bed does not properly achieve chemical equilibrium. Therefore channeling is the risk rather than uniform exposure improvements.
